Review:
The mega-faceted jazz musician Joey DeFrancesco celebrated his 50th birthday in April, and has quite a résumé to show for it. More Music is his 39th studio album as a leader. Characteristically, he has delivered an effusive mainstream hard-bop/soul-jazz effort. DeFrancesco plays organ, piano, keyboards, trumpet and tenor saxophone - often more than one on the same track. That's not doubling, that's quintupling. And that doesn't count his laid-back, everyman vocals on the standard-in-waiting, "And If You Please." For good measure, DeFrancesco wrote and arranged all the material [Except "And If You Please"]. Two highly simpatico players are all the support he needs. Lucas Brown plays organ, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitar. His comparatively restrained organ work countervails the leader's unbridled effervescence. Drummer Michael Ode drives the entire affair with muscular swing. His 25-second solo intro to "Just Beyond the Horizon" is straight-up wild. No bassist necessary, by the way. DeFrancesco plays his trumpet with spark ("Free") and his tenor sax with warmth (on the ballad "Lady G" and the near-ballad "Angel Calling"), but - no surprise - it's on Hammond B-3 that he shines brightest. He showcases that instrument on "Just Beyond the Horizon," "Roll With It," "Soul Dancing" and the title track, his fingers dancing across the keys with boundless swagger. ~ Jazziz.com.

Reseña:
El polifacético músico de jazz Joey DeFrancesco celebró su 50º cumpleaños en abril, y tiene un buen currículum para demostrarlo. More Music es su 39º álbum de estudio como líder. Se trata de un disco de hard-bop/soul-jazz de gran calidad. DeFrancesco toca el órgano, el piano, los teclados, la trompeta y el saxo tenor, a menudo más de uno en el mismo tema. Eso no es doblar, es quintuplicar. Y eso sin contar con su voz relajada y sencilla en el tema estándar "And If You Please". Por si fuera poco, DeFrancesco escribió y arregló todo el material [excepto "And If You Please"]. Dos músicos muy simpáticos son todo el apoyo que necesita. Lucas Brown toca el órgano, los teclados y la guitarra acústica y eléctrica. Su trabajo de órgano, comparativamente comedido, contrarresta la efervescencia desenfrenada del líder. El baterista Michael Ode conduce todo el asunto con un swing muscular. Su solo de introducción de 25 segundos en "Just Beyond the Horizon" es directamente salvaje. Por cierto, no es necesario un bajista. DeFrancesco toca su trompeta con chispa ("Free") y su saxo tenor con calidez (en la balada "Lady G" y la casi balada "Angel Calling"), pero -no es una sorpresa- es en el Hammond B-3 donde brilla más. En "Just Beyond the Horizon", "Roll With It", "Soul Dancing" y el tema que da título al disco, hace gala de este instrumento, y sus dedos bailan sobre las teclas con un contoneo sin límites. ~ Jazziz.com.
